: Re: How do greetings vary with time of day? A character in a story meets another and the author is keeping time of day, as in "the clock was indicating 12 noon". How do the characters greet

If it's not for radio, greetings don't need to be voiced at all. If it's just two characters, it might very well be non-dialog:

Bob saw George coming back from the break room, and caught his eye. They moved into a doorway of an unused office, out of the hallway traffic.
"I have an idea for the new product line." Bob said ...

I find in real life people don't use formal greetings or address each other during conversation, compared to what is seen in fiction and perhaps in the past or in other cultures.

Body language plays a larger role.
